I don't know if I should applaud you or insult you.

Let's all be honest and admit it's Kinder. The guy still tries to pass of as a libertarian while supporting protectionism and corporate taxes.

Corporation tax is a good thing.

You don't have to take it personally. Although I'm a bit surprised you thought that I was only talking about myself when I said that unskilled people shouldn't be able to make decisions. To be fair, you're not really that unskilled seeing as you probably spend hours reading up on economic stuff.

I'm not taking it personally, it's just irritating to me when people - especially you - stifle discussions and opinions based on uncontrollable things like age. It's PSU-tier bullshit.

Still though, economics is more philosophical in my eyes and many of its constituents seem to have a political bias to redistribute the wealth around the already wealthy more so than those in need.

Well are you basing that off what economists say, or what politicians do? I assure you, there's little correspondence between the two.

Door and Kinder are roughly tied. But Kinder's an autist as well, so the point goes to him.

Gotta agree with this.

Protectionism is good. It does what it's name implies: protects. It products domestic industry and workers trying to become prosperous. Before all these free-trade agreements, Americans had jobs and purchasing-power far greater than today.

Corporate taxes are good. Corporate profits depend on tax-financed public goods: healthy and educated workforce; good infrastructure; publicly enforced respect for contracts and property rights, and so on. When corporations avoid or evade tax, legally or illegally, they free ride on the backs of the rest of us. Stop taxing them, and you savagely undermine political community. It's called giving back to what they were given. The Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy has even stated the incidence of corporate tax fell mostly on capital owners, not employees. It added that corporate income tax was among the most progressive taxes, because stock ownership was heavily concentrated among the wealthiest taxpayers.

Come to think of it, shouldn't this be in the Flood?
